I want to talk about something that doesn't get discussed enough in the health space: the real cost of eating well.

We all know that organic produce isn't cheap. Whole foods, quality ingredients, shopping with intention... it all adds up. And I hear from people all the time who say that eating healthily feels out of reach financially. That it's a luxury they can't always afford.

I understand that. And I think there's something we can all do that immediately makes a difference: stop throwing food away.

The average household wastes an enormous amount of food every week. Not because people are careless, but because life gets busy. You buy a beautiful bunch of kale on the weekend with every intention of using it, and by Thursday it's sitting forgotten at the back of the crisper, going limp. A few leftover herbs. Half a head of cabbage. Some spinach that's seen better days.

We've all been there.

But here's what I've come to believe: some of the most nourishing meals you can make come from exactly those odds and ends. A wilted green thrown into a pesto doesn't diminish it, it enriches it. Soft vegetables roasted in a tray bake with tahini become something extraordinary. A frittata, a soup, a shakshuka. These are the kinds of dishes that were built for imperfect produce.

Eating well was never meant to be about perfect-looking ingredients. It was meant to be about using what you have, wasting nothing, and finding the nourishment in all of it.

That's why I am excited to share 10 recipes for wilted produce - 10 of our favorite recipes specifically designed for the wilting, the forgotten, and the almost-past-it.

You can get the recipes HERE. >>

I hope it saves you some money this week and reminds you that real food doesn't need to be perfect to be powerful.

In good health,

Immunity Protects Your Heart

By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.

I’ve noticed that my patients suffer more heart attacks and other coronary incidents during flu season, though I couldn’t quite explain why. Now the science is catching up with those observations.

It’s long been known that heart disease is a risk factor for developing serious flu complications. Among adults hospitalized with the flu in recent seasons, heart disease was one of the most common chronic conditions reported. About half of the adults who are hospitalized with the flu also have heart disease.

But a growing body of research suggests that influenza infection can put people at increased risk for acute cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke — a finding the American Heart Association highlighted last winter. This evidence has been steadily mounting.

Special: 5 Powerful Methods to Enhance Your Health and Increase Longevity...

According to one study, people were six times more likely to have a heart attack in the week after being diagnosed with flu. The research, published in in the Annals of Internal Medicine, reported that sudden, serious cardiac events are more common in adults hospitalized with flu.

This study, which looked at more than 80,000 adult patients hospitalized with the flu over eight seasons, found that almost one in eight (12 percent) patients had experienced an acute cardiac event such as heart failure or coronary artery disease. Of those people, 30 percent were admitted to the ICU and 7 percent died while in the hospital.

In addition, a study published in The Journal of Infectious Diseases found that even mild illness caused by influenza virus infections are associated with a twofold increase in the risk of acute cardiovascular events in older patients.

So the flu not only makes you feel bad, it jeopardizes your heart as well.

You might be making your health worse without knowing it.

That’s what came up in this video interview.

Because nutrition doesn’t always “support” the body…

Sometimes they push it out of balance!

And that can make a massive difference when it comes to chronic diseases as serious as cancer.

For instance, we’ve seen cases where “support for inflammation or oxidative stress” actually showed up in labs as too much, not too little.

So instead of helping…

The system was being overloaded, causing things like weight gain, fatigue, hair loss, kidney stones, and more.

Your DNA is a major part of this.

It influences how your body processes and uses nutrients.

Which means the same routine can behave completely differently from person to person.

That’s why this video is worth your attention.

You’ll see how DNA-guided nutrition is helping people avoid unnecessary imbalances… and finally support their body in a way that actually fits how it’s built.

To your health,

U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson created the very first Earth Day in 1970, after witnessing the horrible impacts of the 4.2M gallons of oil spilled along California’s pristine coast in 1969. “For twenty years, I have been trying to convince politicians that there was a rapidly growing interest, that it is a critically important issue, and, that they should address themselves to it,” he stated in a letter to the media in 1971.​
“My objective was to have a massive nationwide demonstration to show the politicians of the country that there was a genuine grass roots, deeply-felt interest in the issue that crossed all political lines and all age groups,” Senator Nelson said.
Earth Day holds deep meaning for me personally, because nature isn’t separate from our lives. We are nature. For everything Mother Earth provides for us, respecting her requires small “baby step” actions every day. We can all contribute daily, even in the simplest of ways like picking up litter on a walk or remembering to put our reusable bags back in the car for the grocery store. 😉
In uncertain times, we should not be too cynical to celebrate Earth Day! Start with your own home and neighborhood. Be the change you wish to see. Take the pledge to go without pesticides, plant a tree, or join a clean up event. For more Earth Day inspiration, check out this map of events happening around the world. Hit reply and tell me how you plan to honor Earth Day? 🌎

What the Lights Going Out Taught Me​

A couple weeks ago, my wife Riana and I were each working on our computers when a wind storm caused our area to suddenly lose power. In a blink, every electronic (including the screen we’re staring at) goes instantly dark. And at first, you’re of course annoyed. “What an inconvenience.” No Wi-Fi. No lights. No immediate way to “do” anything. We’re at the mercy of the power companies finding the cause and fixing it.​
But after the initial frustration, something subtle began to shift...if you allow it. Without planning it, my wife and I were invited into a slower rhythm.​
And after several hours of not knowing “Will this last days?” – in Montana you never know – we start to realize this is an opportunity.​
I wanted to share these 7 power reflections that I had about our dependency on technology and the unexpected beauties that emerged when electricity is shut off…​

This is a difficult topic for me to write about.

Why?

Because it is controversial, and many of you may not agree.

But I feel the need to raise it because, over the last decades, the money-driven manipulation has become increasingly obvious. It has pushed academia, personal freedom, and our health out of balance (to put it politely ...)

Money, special interests, politics, and corporate influence are shaping research, education, social media, and now even AI platforms.

Learn more here...

Let me give you an example.

Yesterday, I explored a new medical AI platform. After looking deeper into its ownership and financing structures, it became clear that it is funded and regulated by the largest medical institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and financial players in the world.

You might ask: what is the problem with that?

The real question is this:

  • Should healthcare be a profitable business?
  • Or should the well-being of people have priority?
  • Should the "disease management industry" dominate healthcare?
  • How do we know that AI companies are not using your personal data for training or selling it to the highest bidder?
  • How are physician prompts, search behaviour, and clinical attention being monetized?
  • If these 'monster platforms' dominate the AI healthcare market, where can we find neutral, independent, and unbiased guidance?
There's no doubt that AI is rapidly moving toward national and global influence, dominance, and control.

Are you okay with that?

Should we simply accept it and tell ourselves, “Well, it probably won’t be that bad”?

I am NOT okay with it.

I believe we need to take a hard look at our healthcare and academic systems and consciously decide who we support - and who we do not.

Be aware.

Read between the lines.

Become an independent thinker.

And take action accordingly.

For example, have you ever asked your physician or healthcare provider:

Do you offer evidence-based Lifestyle Medicine?

If not, consider finding other solutions because there is ALWAYS an option if you are willing to look for it.

At Lifestyle Prescriptions® University, we made the decision a long time ago to remain independent and financially autonomous.

  • Institutional Autonomy: No economic, political, or ideological control
  • Academic Freedom: No researcher censorship or donor-driven limitations
  • Financial Independence: Not reliant on any single industry
  • Epistemic Freedom: Teaching and research without external agendas
Our Lifestyle Medicine Summit, our Foundations, Certification, and Degree Programs, and our AI productivity tools are supported by our students - not by external corporate influence.

Yes, it makes things harder.

But it is deeply fulfilling.

And even more importantly, our AI platforms are HIPAA-compliant, with data never sold, never used for outside marketing or advertising, and never designed to push an ideology or agenda.

If this aligns with your values and your vision of how healthcare and academia should function, please SHARE this email with your community.

The Biomarker Driving Inflammation and Cancer
Understanding the terrain of your body is one of the most powerful steps you can take on your healing journey.

In this week’s Wellness Warriors podcast, functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner Ruby Tischoff explores the emerging role of galectin-3.​
It is an inflammatory protein now being studied for its connection to cancer progression, fibrosis, heart disease, and chronic inflammation.

You’ll learn how galectin-3 functions in the body, why integrative practitioners are monitoring it as a biomarker, and how targeted lifestyle and nutritional strategies may help bring this key driver of inflammation back into balance.

If you are seeking deeper insight into the root causes of imbalance and more personalized approaches to healing, this conversation offers valuable perspective.​

Everything Is Energy​

The Mediterranean lifestyle continues to be recognized as one of the healthiest ways to live, and that’s no coincidence. It’s built on principles that prioritize long-term wellbeing: local and seasonal foods, healthy fats, time in nature, daily movement, stress management, and strong social connection.

At the heart of Mediterranean nutrition is high-quality extra virgin olive oil. When produced correctly, olive oil is rich in antioxidants and healthy fats that support heart health, brain function, and inflammation balance. It’s used daily and plays a central role in both flavor and nourishment.

But food is only part of the picture. Mediterranean cultures emphasize walking, shared meals, laughter, and slowing down. Health is woven into daily life rather than treated as a separate task. This newsletter exists to help you bring those principles into your own routine no matter where you live.

By focusing on what’s simple, enjoyable, and proven, this lifestyle removes stress and confusion often associated with health and wellness today.

Warmly,
